I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
As the sun was going down yesterday evening there was just this one great egret still fishing in the salt marsh. We saw the egret catch only a few tiny minnows…so it’s possible he might have gone to bed with only a snack for his supper!
Fabulous shots, Phil. Just arrived back home from our drive back from New Jersey. A snack will have to suffice for us too, before we fall into bed. 🙂 Happy New Year to you and yours.
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the look back at 2013 and you know I had to include some Spoonies! I really could have done all 12 photos using the Spoonies and been perfectly happy! 🙂
Sharon and I would like to thank you both for all the great shots from your second home ha! ha! they were worth much more than a thousand words. We enjoy them much more now that we don’t make it to the park as often as we would like. We want to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! May all your shots be keepers.
Sicuramente non ha avuto problemi di digestione 🙂
Splendidi scatti, sei fortissimo Phil!!
Buon Anno Nuovo!! Pat
Grazie per le gentili parole e felice anno nuovo a voi! 😀
A snack is better than nothing! Happy 2014! Looking forward to more great adventures and images from the swamp.
Thanks so much Gunta and best to you in 2014!

He just went for the tapas. 🙂
Oh yes, tapas are definitely the trend out in the marsh for the new year! 😀
Absolutely gorgeous photos, Phil!
Thanks a million, glad you enjoyed these egret shots!
You’re welcome. Especially happy to see your recent retrospective peek at dear Spoonie. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Hi Alyce & Phil,

Excellent shots, with those reflections and the ripples of light on the egret. Thanks, and Happy 2014!

Light dinners are healthier any way 😉 Happy 2014, Phil 🙂
This bird looks quite fit so I’m sure his eating plan is working well for him.
Best to you in 2014 Paula!
